Directions
Chicken & Marinade
5
garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup
avocado oil
1
lime, juiced
1 teaspoon
salt
1 teaspoon
black pepper
1 teaspoon
cumin
2 tablespoons
liquid aminos
1 tablespoon
honey
1 tablespoon
aji amarillo paste
1-4 lb
3 cups
chicken stock
- Whisk together all the ingredients for the marinade.
- Remove the giblets and place the chicken in a large bowl.
- Brush or pour over the marinade, allowing the chicken to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes or overnight in the refrigerator.
- Preheat the oven to 425°F.
- Place the chicken on a roasting rack and drizzle over remaining marinade in the bowl.
- Add 2 cups of chicken stock to the bottom of the roasting pan.
- Roast for 20 minutes, then turn the oven down to 375°F.
- Add an additional cup of chicken stock to the bottom of the roasting rack, and continue to roast for an additional 1 hour and 10 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken is 160°F.
- While you’re waiting for the chicken to roast, add all ingredients for the aji verde sauce to a food processor and blend until smooth; set aside in the refrigerator until you’re ready to serve.
- After the chicken is fully cooked, remove it from the oven, transfer to a cutting board, and tent it with aluminum foil for 10 minutes.
- Cut into desired sections and serve with aji verde sauce for dipping.
Notes from Jess:
- The chicken stock prevents the bottom of the roasting pan with additional marinade from burning. She's also found that it keeps the chicken juicy.
- If your chicken is more than four pounds, you may need to add additional roasting time.
- Make sure the temperature between the thighs and the breast is a minimum of 160°F before removing from the oven. The temperature will rise to 165°F while resting under the tented foil.
